Utah Jazz guard George Hill (3) warms up as the Utah Jazz and the LA Clippers prepare to compete in game 6 of the NBA playoffs at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City on Friday, April 28, 2017.


OAKLAND — It was not a big surprise that George Hill was declared out of Thursday’s game earlier in the day because of “soreness in his left toe.”
It’s one of several injuries that has kept Hill out of action for 33 games this year, but one that has been most persisting.
